I have just finished our tax return for 2021. Mostly it was waiting to see if there were any corrections for the 1099. There wasn't but there has been in the past and usually it's Ameritrade and I wait until March 15th. Anyway we filed and we owe $237. Nice. That the closest to $0 we have ever been. It's pretty nuts to be so close. I also had to file the kiddos with their 1099B since I tax loss harvested in 2020 and then harvested some gains in 2021.
I find it intersting how all over the place we've always been. You'd think we'd be more predictable since I do taxes for a living. But there is always something so this is awesome that we are so close. I would prefer to be plus or minus $500 every year. But we've seemed to either a lot like four figures or get back four figures and I'm not usually happy either way.
How did your taxes turn out?

I hear you on the predictable thing. Every year it seems something happens to throw things off, usually investment-related.

I did get a refund and put some as a carry-forward credit to 2022 estimates but I did take $1,500 back from the IRS and $400 back from the state.

DS something always throws it off.
